Chapter 130
Ye Zhenzhen's back was pressed against the cold wall, and right in front of her was the boy's highly oppressive chest.
The words whispered in her ear, "It's time to fulfill your promise, right?", burned so much that her ears went numb.
Her CPU was completely overloaded at this moment, the temperature approaching that of a nuclear reactor.
What promise?
Look at his back?
How to look?
Take off his clothes to look?
A lone man and a lone woman, dry wood and a raging fire... what if his animal instincts took over...
"Um..."
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes darted around, her desire to survive instantly maxing out.
She suddenly squatted down, slipping out from under Gu Ran's arm like a slippery loach, and scrambled towards the computer desk in Gu Ran's bedroom.
"Fill in the college application! Right! The teacher said before that the system crashes easily, so we have to hurry up and apply!"
Gu Ran: "???"
Looking at the figure darting into his room, the boy fell silent.
Is there really such a thing as a good deed delivering itself right to the door???
He slowly withdrew his hand, entered the room, and stood behind Ye Zhenzhen.
The girl was sitting up straight, her fingers clacking away on the keyboard as if she were hacking into the Pentagon, but in reality, she hadn't even opened the browser.
Gu Ran casually picked up an apple from the desk and took a bite with a crunch.
"Alright, you can apply for me."
Ye Zhenzhen let out a long sigh of relief. As long as he didn't mention looking at his back, she would even fix the computer for him!
Turning her head, she saw Gu Ran munching on an unwashed apple, and her brows immediately shot up. "You're so lazy you could die! How can you eat an unwashed apple!"
With that, the girl quickly stood up, snatched the apple from his hand, turned around to wash it clean, and then stuffed it back into his mouth with an exasperated look.
"Lazy pig!"
On the other hand, Gu Ran just looked at her with a smile, not saying a word.
Noticing his gaze, Ye Zhenzhen's scalp tingled a bit. She could only turn back around and sit down, pretending to ignore him.
"Where do you want to apply?" She clicked open the application system, forcing herself to stay calm.
"Qinglin University," Gu Ran replied instantly.
Ye Zhenzhen's hand trembled, and she whipped her head around, unable to hide the pleasant surprise in her eyes. "You're going to Qinglin too? Your score is high enough for Tsinghua or Peking University..."
"Are officials the only ones allowed to do as they please?" Gu Ran chewed on the apple, his words muffled. "I heard the senior girls at Qinglin are very passionate. Shouldn't I go and experience it?"
"Superficial!" Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, but she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips.
She quickly typed "Qinglin University" into the first choice column, and for the major, she selected the most difficult path in life—Clinical Medicine (an eight-year bachelor's, master's, and doctoral program).
She quickly entered the codes.
First choice: Qinglin University, Clinical Medicine (8-year program).
It was Gu Ran's turn.
He leaned in close, and Ye Zhenzhen instantly felt enveloped once again.
Her body stiffened, and she subconsciously held her breath.
Gu Ran's long fingers flew across the keyboard.
Institution code: 10xxx (Qinglin University).
Major code: 02xx (Economics and Management Experimental Class).
Enter, confirm.
Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her pretty eyes in satisfaction.
The same city, the same university, the same campus.
This meant that for at least the next four years, or even up to eight years if Gu Ran pursued a master's and a PhD, she wouldn't be able to shake off this clingy plaster.
At this thought, the girl's heart felt like she had drunk sparkling water, bubbling with sweetness.
"Secretly happy?" Gu Ran tilted his head, a half-smile on his face. "Are you thrilled to be going to the same university as me?"
"Pfft, as if!" Ye Zhenzhen slammed the page shut, her cheeks burning. "I'm just worried that without someone to keep an eye on you, you'll be corrupted by bad women in college!"
"Yes, yes, yes, sister is right."
Gu Ran stretched lazily, his joints popping.
The next second, he plopped face-down onto the bed, burying his face in a pillow, and his muffled voice came out:
"Business is done, Dr. Ye. Now it's time for personal matters, right?"
Dr... Dr. Ye?
Why did this title sound so weird coming from his mouth?
A bit perverted...
Ye Zhenzhen's heart, which had just settled, leaped back into her throat. "Wh-what personal matters?"
Gu Ran pointed to his lower back, his tone resentful. "I almost broke my back saving a certain heartless person just now. It's burning with pain right now. Aren't you going to take responsibility?"
Ye Zhenzhen bit her lip.
It was true.
The fall at the milk tea shop was pretty bad, and he got hurt acting as a human cushion for her.
"Then... then tell me what to do," she said, her voice as quiet as a mosquito.
Gu Ran didn't stand on ceremony. He reached back, grabbed the hem of his T-shirt, and pushed it up.
The boy's lean and firm waist was instantly exposed. The lines of his back were smooth and powerful, rising and falling slightly with his breathing.
And right below his shoulder blade, there was a large, swollen red patch, looking particularly glaring against his fair skin.
"Come massage it for me."
Hearing Gu Ran's words, Ye Zhenzhen gasped.
Guilt instantly overpowered her shyness, and she quickly dug out some safflower oil.
"It might hurt a little, bear with it."
She poured the oil, rubbed her hands to warm it up, and tremblingly placed her palms on his back.
Her fingertips were slightly cool, while his skin was burning hot.
The moment they touched, both of them shivered.
Gu Ran, his face buried in the pillow, had the corners of his mouth curving up wildly.
This touch, this softness...
However, the very next second—
"Hiss—!!!"
A scream like a slaughtered pig echoed through the bedroom.
The girl didn't caress him gently. Instead, she turned into a ruthless masseuse, vigorously rubbing the swollen area!
"Ow, ow, ow! Ye Zhenzhen, are you trying to murder your own... own brother?!"
"Stepbrother!"
Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, her face flushed red. "You have to rub out the bruised blood for it to heal faster, that's basic medical knowledge! I'll give you a full body checkup in a bit."
Full body checkup?
Isn't that usually a line said to the female lead?
Could it be the unspoken rules were aimed at him?
Before Gu Ran could think any further, the girl's fierce hands struck again.
"Ah! Not there! That's my kidney... Awoo!"
"Ye Zhenzhen! Are you trying to cripple my lower half?!"
"Ye Zhenzhen, you're using public office to avenge a private wrong!!!"
Two minutes later.
"Alright, alright!"
Gu Ran bounced up from the bed, covered in sweat, looking in horror at the girl whose hands were glistening with oil. "This is what you call a full body checkup? I think you're trying to do an autopsy!"
Seeing her foolish younger brother's disheveled state, the awkward sense of shame that had bothered Ye Zhenzhen all day finally dissipated, replaced by the thrill of revenge.
She pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands, tilted her chin up, and returned to her aloof, top-student persona.
"If you can't handle the pain, don't come to me. This lady specializes in curing all kinds of melodramatics."
After saying that, to cover up the momentary flutter in her heart, she kicked Gu Ran on the calf.
"If you don't need me to look at it, I'm leaving. You got a sweet deal and you're still complaining!"
Bang!
Without giving him a chance to react, the girl left the bedroom right after speaking, fleeing the scene at top speed.
Click. The sound of the bedroom door next door locking from the inside rang out.
Gu Ran's bedroom returned to silence.
He stood at the door, rubbing his burning lower back, and spat fiercely in the direction of the room next door.
After resting for a moment, he pulled out his chair and sat at the computer desk.
The fluorescent glow of the screen lit up, illuminating his youthful and spirited face.
He skillfully opened the developer backend.
Temple Run.
The data for this game, which was released right before the college entrance exams, was jumping like crazy.
Total downloads: 1,000,000+.
Daily Active Users: 100,000+.
Gu Ran stared at the pending settlement amount on the screen, his long fingers tapping the desk lightly, making a rhythmic sound.
Becoming a millionaire at such a young age... what a wild turn of events...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
